    Online Play. My throttle moves but won't rev up the engine

    Offline is fine, I move my throttle and the engine revs up enough to be able to take off. However online with exactly the same start-up procedure, the throttle moves but the revs of the engine do not increase making it impossible to take off

    Could it be you are on a server/map/airfield that requires the engine to warm up before you can take off?

    Check your prop pitch.

    Realistic settings issue?


    Offline, your engine is warmed up?

    I have the same problem Sig, but figure it's just time catching up with me.


    Oh wait, maybe I misunderstood what you were referring to.....

    Agree, sounds like the engine is not warmed up online.

    What plane do you use?
    And do you know about your propeller pitch?

    It's the same with all aircraft and no it's not prop pitch. Engines warmed up correctly too.
